Abstract
ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to examine the benefits of Snoezelen room for older people living in nursing homes. Participants were 84 people with dementia from Barcelona (Spain) that were randomly assigned to Snoezelen or reminiscence sessions. Bi-weekly sessions were held over a period of 12 weeks. Participants in the Snoezelen group displayed significant improvements in depression and anxiety and a greater degree of relaxation. Participants with slight dementia were also more likely to display more alertness and offer constructive answers. Snoezelen room could be implemented in a range of dementia’s stages, stressing its implications for slight dementia profile.

Activities, Adaptation, & Aging is the working tool for activity directors and all health care professionals concerned with the enhancement of the lives of the aged. Established as the primary journal for activity professionals, Activities, Adaptation & Aging provides a professional outlet for research regarding the therapeutic implications of activities on quality-of-life issues and overall life satisfaction for the elderly. The journal examines a wide spectrum of activities: activity-based intervention for persons with dementia; activity determinants in independent-living elderly; activity implications in a variety of settings; activity participation patterns; and activity implications for everyday practice.
